Jared Bednar To Return As Avs Coach

Jared Bednar, the Avalanche’s head coach since 2016, will return for the 2026-27 season, NHL sources tell me.

That was my first year on an NHL beat, and it just so happened to have players such as Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg and Patrick Roy on it. And, Claude Lemieux. Claude was a reporter’s dream. He actually liked talking to the press.
